Once you reach a place of creative freedom, your writing life becomes your responsibility. You must learn when enough is enough and when not enough is not enough. You must narrow down your own projects and expand your own ideas. What’s great about creative freedom is that it’s all yours.
It’s all yours with no one to answer to but your inner being. However, coming from any type of rigid environment and being thrust into creative freedom can be overwhelming and unpredictable. You can choose to close the door and walk away or you can step into your creative freedom and answer the call. Your inner being is counting on you.
Here’s the thing, some people place themselves in limiting mindsets for comfort and to be free from the accountability of managing themselves. They’d prefer to be managed. Does that hinder creative flow? Yes, but only because you’re choosing to live with a limited mindset. Which denies you access to who you could be if you took responsibility for your creativity. Creative Freedom is a choice accessible to everyone. People build innovative machines while sleeping in a garage. Artists go in so deep they forget to eat for days. Women make quilts while in devastatingly abusive relationships. You don’t need to be in perfect health, in perfect financial standing, or in any type perfect place to access creative freedom. Does money and security help and do I want it for everyone? Hell yes! If you don’t have money or security does that exclude you from creative freedom? Hell no!
So the point, creative freedom, desiring it, taking actions to access it, answering the call to it, is yours.
